I confess that I have been avoiding AS3 like the paige, but I have been forced to learn it. Making timers, manging timelines… so far so good. But a button? I simply want my movieclip/button to change state and link to a URL. In AS2 this was easy.

on(RollOver){  
//do what i want  
}

on(RollOut){  
//do what i want  
}

on(Release){  
//do what i want  
}

HELP!!!
